EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Juan Ferreras (1652-1735): A Spanish Priest and Historian of the Golden Age" This evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of Juan Ferreras y Garcia (1652-1735), a Spanish priest and historian, who played a pivotal role in the intellectual and cultural development of Spain during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in the northern region of Asturias, Ferreras was a prominent member of the Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominicans. Ferreras' scholarly pursuits led him to become one of the founders of the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy) in 1713, an institution dedicated to the Spanish language and its literary traditions. This significant achievement underscores his commitment to preserving and promoting Spanish culture during a time of great change in Europe. The portrait, created by the skilled hand of Llanta through lithography, is an exquisite representation of Ferreras in his academic attire. The intricate details of his habit, the serious expression on his face, and the open book in his hands all serve to convey the intellectual depth and dedication of this remarkable man. The image is taken from the "Cronica General de Espana" (General Chronicle of Spain), an illustrated and descriptive history of Spain's provinces, published in Asturias and Leon in 1867. This historical work, which showcases the richness and diversity of Spanish history, further highlights the enduring legacy of Juan Ferreras y Garcia as a scholar and historian. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the profound impact that Ferreras had on the intellectual landscape of Spain during the modern age. His contributions to the study of history and the promotion of Spanish culture continue to resonate, making him an essential figure in the annals of European intellectual history.
